About the Host, Anne

Hi, I'm Anne and I'm a very friendly and outgoing person. I 'm very open minded and love to try new things. I'm an Interior Designer and really love my work, and have travelled abroad on work projects. I love to visit markets, antique fairs, and buy old furniture. I paint and distress them with chalk paint and I give full and half day courses, and really enjoy teaching it. I always have a project on the go. I read a lot, and am a regular movie goer , and I love travelling, and have been to many countries. and also enjoy cruising, since I won our first cruise in a slogan competition ten years ago. I have just returned from a three week trip to California, during which I went on a seven day cruise up the Pacific coast way. It was fabulous. I love the States. While on my trip I learned how to play Sudouko. I'm now hooked.
I believe personality, fun and a strong sense that nothing is so precious that you can't relax, is fundamental to being a successful Super Host.
